sa_enable_auditing_type system procedure

Syntax

sa_enable_auditing_type( 'types' )

Arguments

• types – Use this VARCHAR(128) parameter to specify a comma-delimited string containing one or more of the following values:
  • all – enables all types of auditing.
  • connect – enables auditing of both successful and failed connection attempts.
  • connectFailed – enables auditing of failed connection attempts.
  • DDL – enables auditing of DDL statements.
  • options – enables auditing of public options.
  • permission – enables auditing of permission checks, user checks, and SETUSER statements.
  • permissionDenied – enables auditing of failed permission and user checks.
  • triggers – enables auditing after a trigger event.

Remarks

sa_enable_auditing_type works in conjunction with the PUBLIC.auditing option to enable auditing of specific types of information.

If you set the PUBLIC.auditing option to On, and do not specify which type of information to audit, the default setting (all) takes effect. In this case, all types of auditing information are recorded.

If you set the PUBLIC.auditing option to On, and disable all types of auditing using sa_disable_auditing_type, no auditing information is recorded. To re-establish auditing, you must use sa_enable_auditing_type to specify which type of information you want to audit.

If you set the PUBLIC.auditing option to Off, then no auditing information is recorded, regardless of the sa_enable_auditing_type setting.
